Here by the Fire
The secrets rise up like smoke
You can try to burn them but they will still rise up
Until they pollute the starry skies with clouds of carbon
Making the view look different
The tiny little lies start to spread
Igniting small fires with toxic chemicals
That grow into bigger lies
Making the view look different
The rumors spread like wildfires
So fast that it's impossible to put out
Once a beautiful forest is now nothing but dust
Making the view look different
Sharing s'mores by the campfire
Only to be poisoned by the sweetness of it
Which burns the roots of friendship
And that's when the smoke starts to rise
Making the view look different
